Nichols District #3 Ricky Travers District #4 Rick Price District #5 Tom Bradshaw 2 Message from the County Manager I am pleased to present the Dorchester County Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2017. This report showcases the County and its resources and highlights the County’s accomplishments. In the upcoming fiscal year, the focus will continue to be on providing exceptional service to the citizens of the County. A few of the highlights of this report include: Enactment of a partial abatement of County real property taxes for the rehabilitation of structures tax credit against property tax imposed on newly constructed residential property with an automated fire protection sprinkler system Continued efforts to place County owned properties acquired via tax sale into productive use Staff worked extensively with legislators for the passage of legislation to address blight within the County Developed new partnerships and continued relationships with existing partners For convenience, we have included demographic information about the County as well as fiscal explanations for the FY 2017 budget year. The County Council and its staff continue to strive for excellence in the delivery of public services, always recognizing that the constituents deserve the utmost in customer service, care and fiscal responsibility. It is my pleasure to provide you with this summary of local government activities. Sincerely, Jeremy Goldman 3 LOCAL GOVERNMENT GOALS AND PRIORITIES To provide effective and efficient government recognizing reduced resources due to economic downturn and State budget impacts To adhere to the Charter of the County as adopted in 2002 To manage all County resources with sound fiscal responsibility To appropriately plan for the needs of constituents To maintain service levels and seek ongoing efficiencies To make Dorchester County a desired place to live and work To welcome visitors to the County and showcase our heritage To protect natural and historic resources Dorchester Demographics County Population 2000 30,674 2010 32,618 2020 34,800 (projection) Source: 2017.2 Brief Economic Facts Sheet-Maryland Department of Commerce 4 Dorchester Demographics (continued) Employment Statistics Public Sector Private Sector Source-Maryland Department of Commerce (2016 statistics) 5 FY 2017 Highlights EFFORTS TO ADDRESS BLIGHT IN THE COUNTY During FY17 the County Council continued its goal to address blight in the County by placing properties back into productive use. This was accomplished by transferring the properties obtained by the County via tax sale. Seventy-eight properties were sold in FY17. Many of the buyers were young investors and first time property owners. Several properties were conveyed to Habitat for Humanity Choptank where homes will be constructed for qualified families. Several of the purchased properties have been renovated and are now occupied. Including mixed use property on Pine Street. The building on this parcel contains an apartment upstairs and a small market downstairs. Before and After Pictures Mixed Use Property-Pine Street 6 FY 2017 Highlights EFFORTS TO ADDRESS BLIGHT IN THE COUNTY (continued) Dorchester County staff participated in a partnership with local legislators and other organizations, such as the Maryland Association of Counties and Maryland Municipal League, to draft legislation to address vacant, abandoned and blighted properties. The following is a synopsis of the bills that were passed into law during the 2017 Maryland General Assembly as a result of this partnership. Senate Bill 957/HB 1168 “Counties and Municipalities-Land Bank Authorities” Updates original statutes enabling municipalities, counties and groups of counties to create land banks Provides the power to a land bank to release liens when a blighted, vacant tax delinquent property does not sell as well as the ability for the land bank to self-fund House Bill 1048/SB 875 “Residential Property-Notice of Foreclosure” Provides local governments notice of foreclosures early in the process House Bill 702/SB 1033 Residential Property-Vacant and Abandoned Property- Expedited Foreclosure” Clearly defines “vacant and abandoned” and blighted property Provides a process for expediting foreclosures on these types of properties House Bill 659/SB 823 “Tax Force to Study Tax Sales in Maryland” Creates a task force to conduct a study of tax sales in the State with the goal of maximizing resources, facilitating the placement of properties into productive uses and protecting residents During the 2017 Maryland Association of Counties Summer Conference attendees were provided a summary of the above referenced legislation during a panel discussion titled “No Vacancy: Revitalizing Vacant and Blighted Properties.” Attendees were provided an overview of Dorchester County Government’s Tax Lien Property Re-Purpose plan by Cindy Smith, Grants Administrator. She was invited to speak since Dorchester County leads the State in addressing blight with this innovative plan. Ms. Smith shared with attendees the issues the County faces relating to blighted houses, including impacts to public safety, assessed and market property values and to the local and State economy. She also presented before and after photographs of some of the properties that were sold pursuant to the plan including the Pine Street property highlighted in this report. 7 County Budget Highlights Per the County Charter, the Council is required to adopt a balanced budget no later than May 31st of each year.

Whereas, It is represented to the General Assembly that the flag designed and used as the Flag of Maryland, under the Proprietary Gov- ernment, and which is still known as the Maryland Flag, has never been formally adopted by Maryland as a State, its use having been continued by common consent only; and Whereas, It is only desirable that the official Flag of Maryland should be formally adopted and legalized, but it is eminently fitting that, by reason of its historic interest and meaning, as well as for its beauty and harmony of colors, the flag adopted should be the one which, from the earliest settlement of the Province to the present time, has been known and distinguished as the Flag of Maryland; therefore, Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the flag heretofore, and now in use, and known as the Maryland Flag, be and the same is hereby legalized and adopted as the flag of the State of Maryland, which said flag is particularly described, as to color- ing and arrangement, as follows: Quartered—the first and fourth quar- ters being paly of six pieces, or and sables, a bend dexter counter- changed; the second and third, quarterly, argent and gules, a cross bottonly countersigned; that is to say, the first and fourth quarters consist of six vertical bars alternately gold and black with a diagonal band on which the colors are reversed, the second and third consisting of a quartered field of red and white, charged with a Greek Cross, its arms terminating in trefoils, with the coloring transposed, red being on the white ground and white on the red, and all being as represented upon the escutcheon of the present Great Seal of Maryland.

  • Graveyard Tour 2012

    Graveyard Tour 2012

    Graveyard Tour Welcome to the Great Choptank Parish and this historic cemetery. The past will sneak up on you when you look at the cornerstone of this large granite church that has stood at the corner of Church and High Streets since 1883. The first church here was a frame building erected in 1693, just one year after Dorchester County had been subdivided into two parishes, the Great Choptank Parish and Dorchester Parish. The church in 1693 was known simply as the Church in Cambridge. That first church eventually fell into total disrepair, and in 1794 a new brick building was erected. The second church which actually is the first one to be known as Christ Church stood for about 90 years, until it was destroyed by fire on Thanksgiving Day 1882. The present structure, with its Gothic architecture, was built in 1883 during the rectorship of the Rev. Theodore Barber, one of the outstanding clergymen to serve the Great Choptank Parish. Barber Hall which stands just behind this church is named for him. The churchyard has been a burial ground since the latter half of the seventeenth century. A few of those buried here might actually be under the foundation of the present church. There are also several persons here who rest in unmarked graves, and they are undoubtedly among those in the oldest graves which were probably not marked with tablets or monuments of stone. My own journey into the graveyard of Christ Church began well over 20 years ago when I was requested by the junior warden at the time to bring the graveyard records up to date and enter all the data into a computer database.
